Was Reading somewere that this guy puts his computer peices in the oven to bake after painting them (like his keyboard and mouse)

would this do anything? he said it made it more resistent to scratches and to keep it from wearing off the keys..

hoping insomniac could tell me if this is fact, or fiction..

Slug - a "low bake oven" is standard equipment in most auto spray shops (example pics), having the paint dry at around 40C in low humidity does help, but the problem with most domestic ovens is that they don't have much control at the low end.

Before you try this, I'd suggest you see if your oven is capable of maintaining such a low temperature - try it on it's minimum setting with the door open a little, bung some sort of thermometer in there & see what happens. If you've got a gas oven, forget it, it's just too moist.

I use my airing cupboard instead (I'll explain in case it's just a british thing) - it's the cubby hole with your hot water tank in it (not the boiler), mine averages 35-40c & low humidity.

Btw this "baking" does help, especially on plastic bits.

hmm, i see... yeah, thats pretty low tempature..

i always knew that painting at a higher heat was better.. used to let my car peices sit out in the sun for a while.. then take em into the garage to paint..
